"World War II was a long time ago"

Thus spake a member of the Jewish Defence League at a JDL rally. He had been asked how the JDL could join forces with a Hindu ultra-nationalist whose party back in the old country worships Adolf Hitler.

The nationalist in question, Ron Banerjee, asked what he had in common with Jews or Israel, was disarmingly frank: “As long as they kill Muslims I don’t care.”

Tonight, in a grand show of transatlantic solidarity, the JDL and Banerjee will be hooking up with a British neo-Nazi ex-leader, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka “Tommy Robinson.”
